This is easily the worst trade that Dubas has made in his time here. Foligno better find that fountain of youth, especially if he is playing in the top 6, because he hasn't been worth half of this price since he turned 30. Paying a 2nd alone for this guy was pushing it. Major gamble and a ton of pressure on Foligno to perform a lot better than he has since pretty much he was a PPG player that one time 6 years ago. That and the Leafs having legitimate success in the playoffs is the only way this deal has any legs. He especially needs to play better than he did against the Leafs and Lightning last year, because he was not good in either series. At least it should quiet a lot of Dubas haters because this kind of sub-par move is straight out of Lou's awful playbook, and exactly what they want.
The market better have completely fallen out for guys like Laughton, Iafallo, etc. No way Dubas should have paid the same for Foligno as Lou did for Palmieri and Zajac unless Foligno (and Hall) were the only guys remaining on the market, and everyone else who has any kind of legitimacy also goes for a high price. So much for this being a buyers market.
